Run sonarqube scanner with gitlab ci

I am trying to put together a CI environment for a .NET application using the following stack (just the relevant ones):

• Debian + mono
• Docker
• Gitl

You need to install sonar-scanner first. You can find portage of sonar-scanner for almost any recent language, for example for npm you don't have to use directly the java executor:

I only add to do this :

npm install --save sonar-scanner

Then I needed to add this in my package.json

"scripts": {
  "sonar-scanner": "node_modules/sonar-scanner/bin/sonar-scanner"
}

This is my job in .gitlab-ci.yml:

job_testmaster:
  stage: test
  script:
    - PACKAGE_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
    - echo sonar.projectVersion=${PACKAGE_VERSION} >> sonar-project.properties
    - npm run build
    - npm run sonar-scanner -- -Dsonar.login=${SONAR_LOGIN}
  only:
    - master
  tags:
    - docker

With this, I am able to start sonar analysis, but I am not able to use the quality gates after.

Hope this help.
